This is a 6 3/8" bread and butter/dessert plate in Noritake's REGINA pattern featuring a pink flower against a white background surrounded by a mint green band around the rim. It was produced from 1953-1960 and has a classic feel to it though the stylized leaves do show its mid century origin!

Price is for one but there are three available. Quantity and shipping discounts if you purchase more than one.

Condition:
Slight wear to silver rim in places.
Little to no utensil marks.
Some wear to flower pattern but not so obvious or extensive that the plates look old or worn out.

How I Assess Vintage Pieces

I strive to identify all flaws—even minor ones—in the listing, with both photos and descriptions. This means you know what you are getting from me. Every photo of a flaw will be have the flaw described in the written description. If I can’t get a good photo of a blemish, it will still be described in the listing. Vintage items typically have light signs of usage: utensil marks, diminishment in shine to the glaze, scratches on the design, chips, crazing, and cracks. The situations mentioned above are exactly what I examine each item for, under a bright light and with glasses on, as I am listing it.

 

Many sellers will just say “in excellent vintage condition” and the dimensions of the piece. If their conception of “excellent vintage condition” includes minor signs of use, you may be surprised when you get the item. I don’t use the word “excellent” unless there is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, zero utensil marks, and no muting of colors or glaze sheen…which means I rarely use the word “excellent” for a vintage item.

 

Problems:
In the event of a problem, please contact me asap. I want you to be happy with your purchase!

 

Returns:
Returns accepted within 30 days of purchase. Buyer pays return postage. No refund will be given if item arrives broken or damaged, so please pack returns very carefully.


Feedback
I leave feedback within a week after your item is received. If you are considering leaving neutral or negative feedback, please contact me first! Unhappy buyers who leave negative feedback without contacting the buyer first for resolution do not give Sellers the opportunity to make things right—so everyone loses! I appreciate the chance to make things right. If you check out my feedback, you will see I do not often disappoint. 

 

Looking for Other Vintage Mid Century Modern Items?
WAXWING MID MOD may be able to help!

Let me know what you are after. At any given moment I have 100+ items not listed yet! I focus on mid-century modern plate sets, serving pieces, barware, glassware, stemware, vases, and art. You can find me under Astrid Waxwing on various platforms.

 

I love reuniting orphan glassware with its pattern family! Franciscan, Noritake, Lenox, Stangl, Salem, California potteries, Doroty Thorpe, McCoy, Hazel Atlas, Fire King, Anchor Hocking, Pyrex, and Corning Ware/Corelle are some of the brands I seek out and educate myself about.

 

I’m drawn to kitchen ware because kitchen is the heart of the home. The ritul of choosing a plate pattern when getting married is one of the first choices an engaged couple makes together. This is when they decide, what is that image of successful adulthood do they want to portray to their friends and family? This was a decision that usually the woman had more influence on. In the latter half of the 20th century, women did not have much power in a relationship but  they did have power in the kitchen!

 

Ironically, I have no dining table. I lost it in my divorce and never replaced it. My plate pattern when I got married in 2002 was Franciscan Starburst, though and I still have those pieces. I love to host cocktail/mocktail parties which is when my MCM serving ware collection gets used. A nice vintage piece, whether beautiful, swanky, or ridiculously weird, ALWAYS enhances a meal or gathering!
